STAFF REPORT
Based on the information contained in the amended application and staff’s evaluation:
A. Constructing a 2-story house is not incongruous in concept according to Guidelines 1.3.2,
1.3.7, 1.3.13, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, 3.3.4, 3.3.5, 3.3.6, 3.3.7, 3.3.9, 3.3.10, 3.3.11, 3.3.12, and the
following suggested facts:
1* Built area to open space analysis: According to the applicant, the lot is 6,211 SF. The
footprint of the house is 1,457 SF; including the front porch, porte cochere, rear porch,
garage, rear drive, front drive and front walkway it is 2,997 SF. The proportion of built area
to open space is 48%.
2* Built mass to open space analysis: According to the applicant, the lot is 6,211 SF. The
footprint of the house is 1,457 SF; including the front porch, porte cochere, rear porch and
garage it is 2,505 SF. The proportion of built mass to open space is 40%.
3* A tree protection plan was provided for the water oak at the rear of the property. See
section C below for more about the trees on the site.
4* A site section that shows the rise in grade from the street to the rear alley was provided. It
shows regrading in the area between the garage and the rear of the house.
5* The location of HVAC units and screening was not provided.
6* Context on the block: The proposed house is two stories. The four houses to the north on
Lenoir St are single-story bungalows with Craftsman details, while the property to the south
(which faces Cabarrus St) is a 1 ½-story bungalow. On the west side of Lenoir St is a one-
story bungalow and a group of commercial/industrial buildings.
7* The applicant provided drawings illustrating the relative roof heights of the existing
quadplex and its neighbors, showing the existing building is 21% taller than at 1108 W
Lenoir St and 36% taller than at 916 W Cabarrus St. The ridge heights of the proposed
new 2-story houses are roughly 2 feet taller than the existing quadplex, making them 30%
taller than at 1108 W Lenoir St and 45% taller than at 916 W Cabarrus St, a 9% increase in
roof height compared to the existing quadplex.
8* The applicant provided other examples nearby in Boylan Heights where two two-story
houses are flanked by single-story houses, all on W South St. This is relevant because the
176-17-CA Staff Report 3
concurrent application at 1104 W Lenoir St (COA application 177-17-CA) is also a two-story
house, thus creating a pair of two-story houses on a block that otherwise contains single-
story residences. New drawings of these other house groupings illustrate the differences
in roof heights, with the two-story houses ranging from 33% to 51% taller than their
shorter neighbors.
9* The applicant provided illustrations of three other two-story houses on the same block
that are taller than the proposed house, all of which are behind the houses across the
alley:
a. 418 Cutler St – 7% taller than the proposed house;
b. 420 Cutler St - 2% taller than the proposed house;
c. 422 Cutler St - 11% taller than the proposed house.
10* The applicant provided examples of other Boylan Heights buildings that have similar flat
side walls to compare with the 56’ wall under the main hipped roof of the proposed
house;
a. 620 Cutler St – 59’ side elevation under the main roof;
b. 603 Cutler St – 62’ side elevation under the main roof;
c. 728 W Cabarrus St – 58’ side elevation under the main roof.
11* The house is a two-story, hipped roof structure with projecting gable-roofed elements on the
front and rear. It includes a porte cochere that is integrated with the roof of the front porch,
as well as a rear porch that is partially inset.
12* Amended drawings show a lowering of the roof height by changing the roof pitch to 7/12.
13* The house features some Craftsman details such as paired porch columns on brick piers,
exposed rafter tails on the front porch and porte cochere roof, and fiber cement lapped
siding on the lower portion of the walls separated by a band board from the board and
batten siding above. The foundation is brick, but a sample was not provided. The updated
drawings no longer include a dormer window on the front of the hipped roof.
14* The applicant provided six examples of buildings in the district that include different
siding on the upper and lower floors; 620 Cutler St, 728 W Cabarrus St, 610 S Boylan Ave,
317 S Boylan Ave and 710 McCulloch St.
176-17-CA Staff Report 4
15* One anachronistic feature is the two-story projecting bay on the front façade. This creates a
vertical emphasis which is atypical of the Craftsman style.
16* The applicant provided a photo of a house with a projecting bay at 422 Cutler St, although
in this example the full-width front porch bisects the double-height projecting bay and
limits the impact of the strong vertical element. The example photo of 504 S Boylan shows
many similarities, including the two-story projecting bay on the front façade. Another
relevant example from staff is the new-construction Craftsman-style house at 503 Cutler
Street approved in 2015 (COA 121-15-CA) features a projecting bay above the porch
uncommon in historic Craftsman-style houses.
17* The porte cochere is not uncommon on historic Craftsman-style houses, but is less common
in Boylan Heights. The applicant provided an example of a porte cochere at 511 Cutler St.
18* Another feature that is not uncommon on historic Craftsman-style houses is the partial-
width front porch, but is less common in Boylan Heights on two-story residences. The
applicant provided an example of a partial-width front porch at 504 S Boylan Ave.
19* A new horizontal window (an atypical window form in the district) is proposed for a
bathroom on the second floor on the south side of the house toward the rear in an
inconspicuous location.
13* The house will be clad in materials that match the garage with fiber cement siding (smooth
side out) and a composite material trim. The windows will match those on the garage.
Asphalt shingles will be used for most of the roof, while standing seam metal will be used
for the porch/porte cochere and small shed roof over second story front windows.
14* Specifications and details for the roofing material were not provided.
15* Specifications and details were provided for the windows, doors, eaves and railings (if
needed). Window trim is traditional with 4” casing on 3 sides and a bottom sill. Muntin
profiles for the window were not.
16* No information was provided for the location or specifications of light fixtures.
B. Constructing a garage is not incongruous in concept according to Guidelines 1.6.5, 1.6.6, 1.6.7,
1.6.8, 1.6.10, 1.6.11, and 1.6.12, and the following suggested facts:
176-17-CA Staff Report 5
1* A gable roofed one-story, two-car garage is proposed which is to be accessed from the rear
alley. Alley loaded garages are common and historical in the district.
2* The application indicates the garage will feature two overhead doors and a person door.
Two windows will be installed; one in the gable above the garage doors, and one in the side
wall with the person door. No details and specifications were provided for the garage
vehicular doors.
3* The applicant provided photographs of other garages in Boylan Heights at 706 S Boylan
Avenue (which must be labeled incorrectly since the address does not show up in iMAPS),
502 Cutler St and 1010 W Lenoir St.
4* The garage will be clad in materials that match the house with fiber cement siding with the
smooth side out, and with composite material trim. The windows will match those on the
house. Asphalt shingles will be used for the roof. The color was not specified.
5* Paint colors were provided; however, paint color swatches were not. Lighting details were
not provided.
C. Removing two trees is not incongruous in concept according to Guidelines 1.3.1, 1.3.5, 1.3.6,
and 3.3.2; however, removing a healthy tree is incongruous in concept according to
Guidelines 1.3.1, 1.3.5, 1.3.6 and 3.3.2, and removing trees without replacing them is
incongruous in concept according to Guideline 1.3.5, and the following suggested facts:
1* The applicants propose removing two mature trees from the site; one is in the path of the
new house, while the ash tree is leaning toward the property and is unhealthy. Arborist
reports were provided.
2* There was no indication that the two trees would be replaced.
3* One mature water oak tree at the rear of the property will be retained and protected during
construction. A tree protection plan was provided.
D. Installing walkways and driveways is not incongruous in concept according to Guidelines
1.5.5, 1.5.6, 1.5.8, 1.5.9, and the following suggested facts:
1* The existing non-historic circle drive that spans both 1102 and 1104 W Lenoir St will be
removed with the demolition of the existing building.
176-17-CA Staff Report 6
2* The applicant proposes installing two driveways; one gravel driveway off the alley leading
to the garage and one concrete driveway off the street leading to the carport.
3* Alley-loaded driveways are a common and historic feature in Boylan Heights.
4* The gray gravel of the alley driveway is to be similar to that found on adjacent properties.
Gravel driveways are common and historical in the district.
5* The new front driveway will require a new curb cut and apron, as well as filling in the
existing curb cut and apron. No curb cut details were provided.
6* A new concrete walkway with a water-washed finish is proposed which runs between the
sidewalk and front porch, essentially centered on the front of the house, as is common and
historical in the district.
Staff suggests that the committee approve the application with the following conditions:
1. That there be no demolition delay for the removal of the trees.
2. That tree protection plans be implemented and remain in place for the duration of
construction.
3. That details and specifications for the following be provided to and approved by staff prior
to installation or construction:
a. Location and species of replacement tree;
b. Curb cut;
c. Garage vehicular door;
d. Window muntins;
e. Roofing materials;
f. Brick sample for foundation;
g. Paint colors;
h. Exterior lighting;
i. HVAC location and screening.

1102 and 1104 W Lenoir Additional supporting evidence as requested by CoA Committee
Design change: Based on the concern expressed by the Committee and the public at the hearing, the heights of the houses have been reduced by lowering the roof pitch and lowering the roof bearing condition. See attached revised exterior elevations.
1) Provide actual relationships of heights of similar two story houses in relation to adjacent onestory houses as presented in application and at hearing, and compare to same for proposedhouses. See attached pages for supporting photos and diagrams. Facts:
a. Proposed houses at 1102 and 1104 W Lenoir are 30%-45% taller than adjacent houses.b. Existing houses at 1029 and 1031 W South are 42%-51% taller than adjacent houses.c. Existing houses at 1023 and 1025 W South are 40%-50% taller than adjacent houses.d. Existing houses at 1018 and 1020 W South are 33%-50% taller than adjacent houses.
Summary: The relationship of the height of the proposed houses to the adjacent houses is lower than the three similar examples cited, and therefore not incongruous.
2) Provide actual heights of proposed houses as compared to proposed two story houses onsame block. See attached for supporting photos and diagrams. Facts:
a. Proposed houses are 30.5’ high to the ridge.b. 422 Cutler Street is 34’ tall.c. 420 Cutler Street is 31’ tall.d. 418 Cutler Street is 32.5’ tall.
Summary: all three existing houses at 422, 420, and 418 Cutler Street are taller than the proposed houses; therefore the height of the proposed houses is not incongruous.
3) Provide examples of structures in Boylan Heights that have similar ‘flat’ side elevations,and provide lengths. See attached. Facts: a. Proposed length of side elevations for 1102 and 1104 W Lenoir Street is 47’-8” on the
first floor and 56’-0” on the second floor (56-0” under main hip roof.)b. Existing lengths of side elevations under main roof line for 620 Cutler is 59’-0”c. Existing lengths of side elevations under main roof line for 603 Cutler is 62’-0”d. Existing lengths of side elevations under main roof line for 728 W Cabarrus is 58’-0”
Summary: all three existing structures cited have ‘flat’ sides longer than the proposed houses; therefore the proposed side elevations are not incongruous.
4) Provide examples of other houses with different siding materials on the first and upperlevels. See attached. Facts:
a. 620 Cutler Street, 728 W Cabarrus, 610 S Boylan, 502 S Boylan, 317 S Boylan, and710 McCulloch are six examples in Boylan Heights.
Summary: Six houses cited support the proposed design; therefore the mixed siding design is not incongruous.
5) Provide address of a built house that has synthetic (Hardi) shingle siding.a. See attached sheet for adjacent houses at 612 and 614 Chamberlain Street for both real
and synthetic cedar shingles.

728 W Cabarrus St east elevation: 48’ body length; 58’ under main roof hip
Facts:
1) Proposed length of side elevations for 1102 and 1104 W Lenoir Street is 47’-8” on thefirst floor and 56’-0” on the second floor (56-0” under main hip roof.)
2) Existing lengths of side elevations under main roof line for other Boylan Heightsproperties:
a. 620 Cutler: 59’-0”b. 603 Cutler: 62’-0”c. 728 W Cabarrus: 58’-0”
Summary of findings: Proposed length of side elevations of 1102 and 1104 W Lenoir is less than three other similar properties located within Boylan Heights; therefore is not incongruous according to Section 3.3.7.

1104 W Lenoir Project Summary (Revised per Staff and DRAC Comments): The project consists of the demolition of an existing non-contributing quadraplex residential structure and constructing a single family residence on the existing lot. A new alley loaded garage is also proposed. Two trees are to be removed with the rear oak to be retained; see certified arborist’s report attached. The existing curb cut shall be patched to match standard curb design, and a new curb cut installed with a new concrete driveway. See drawings for further information and detail. Existing GIS Map for reference

3.3 New Construction of Primary Buildings: Guidelines .1 Site new construction to be congruous with surrounding historic buildings that contribute to the special character of the historic district in terms of setback, orientation, spacing, and distance from adjacent historic buildings. Response: New house is oriented toward Lenoir Street in a similar setback to the adjacent built properties. See Proposed Site Plan for locations of adjacent houses at 1108 W Lenoir and 916 W Cabarrus. Side yard setbacks are within a typical range found in Boylan Heights. See GIS Map for nearby existing structures setbacks. Adjacent house to the north, 1108 W Lenoir, has side yard setbacks less than 5’. .2 Design new construction so that the overall character of the site, site topography, character-defining site features, trees, and significant district vistas and views are retained. Response: New house and garage are located in an effort to preserve the existing site topography and existing healthy tree. .3 Evaluate in advance and limit any disturbance to the site’s terrain during construction to minimize the possibility of destroying unknown archaeological resources.
Response: Minimal site grading is required, and only for the foundation for the house, garage, and driveways. See Site Section attached. .4 Protect large trees and other significant site features from immediate damage during construction and from delayed damage due to construction activities, such as loss of root area or compaction of the soil by equipment. It is especially critical to avoid compaction of the soil within the critical root zone. Response: See attached certified arborist’s report recommending removal of the tree adjacent to the existing apartment structure and the ash tree on the south property line in the rear yard. See tree protection plan for the rear water oak that is to remain. .5 It is appropriate to implement a tree protection plan prior to the commencement of construction activities.
Response: See attached certified arborist’s report and tree protection plan. .6 Conform to the design guidelines found in Section 2 regarding site and setting in developing a proposed site plan. Response: See site plan for site design. .7 Design new buildings to be congruous with surrounding buildings that contribute to the special character of the historic district in terms of height, form, size, scale, massing, proportion, architectural style, and roof shape. The height of new buildings should generally fall within 10 percent of well related nearby buildings. Response: Well related nearby buildings are defined in the glossary as “Existing contributing buildings within 1-½ blocks of the subject property as measured parallel to the building-wall line in both directions and on both side streets.” Within 1 ½ blocks are the following examples of two story houses situated in between one story houses:
115.5 E. Hargett Street Suite 300 Raleigh, North Carolina 27601 919-834-3600 919-829-0860 fax tightlinesdesigns.com
1029 and 1031 W South Street (2 two story houses between one story houses)
1023 and 1025 W South Street (2 two story houses between one story houses)
1018 and 1020 W South Street (2 two story houses between one story houses)
The form, size, scale, massing, proportion, architectural style, and roof shape of the proposed house is consistent with the character of other houses found throughout Boylan Heights.
Examples: Similar mass with hip upper roof and front projecting bay with gable roof at 422 and 420 Cutler St
115.5 E. Hargett Street Suite 300 Raleigh, North Carolina 27601 919-834-3600 919-829-0860 fax tightlinesdesigns.com
.8 Design the proportion of the proposed new building’s front facade to be compatible with the front facade proportion of surrounding historic buildings. Response: The front façade of the proposed house contains elements consistent and compatible with other historic buildings in Boylan Heights, specifically a deep front porch, columns, a porte-cochere, single and twin double hung windows, eave overhangs, and roof dormers. The offset front porch is similar to 504 S Boylan Avenue.
511 Cutler – porte-corchere example 504 S Boylan – offset front porch example Furthermore, similar front elevation designs of adjacent houses (with minor detail changes) can be found within Boylan, for example at 912-916 W Cabarrus (on the same block as subject property.)
916, 914, 912 W Cabarrus St (left to right) .9 Design the spacing, placement, scale, orientation, proportion, and size of window and door openings in proposed new construction to be compatible with the surrounding buildings that contribute to the special character of the historic district. Response: Windows are typically single or twin wood double hung windows with a proportion of height = 2x width. Single doors are found on the front and side entries, with a ganged rear door unit facing the rear.

.10 Select materials and finishes for proposed new buildings that are compatible with historic materials and finishes found in the surrounding buildings that contribute to the special character of the historic district. Response: The proposed house will have a brick foundation, Hardi siding or equal, Miratec Trim or equal, Hardi soffit or equal, wood T&G front porch, wood 5/4 x6 rear porch floor, wood exterior ceilings, and asphalt shingles. All lap siding, panels, and trim shall have smooth finish (no faux wood grain.) All final specifications and colors to be submitted to staff for approval prior to installation. .11 Design new buildings so that they are compatible with but discernible from contributing buildings in the district. Response: Mass and form are compatible with multiple historic residences in the neighborhood; details such as the front panels and sloped boxed eaves create the discernible distinction. .12 It is not appropriate to introduce new buildings whose proportion of built mass to open space on their site significantly varies from the surrounding buildings that contribute to the special character of the historic district. Response: The proposed built area is 48.3%; less than the CoA approved built area of 54.4% at 503 Cutler Street. See also GIS Map for adjacent buildings for similar built mass to open space proportion.

Response: N/A .3 Maintain and when necessary repair the character-defining materials, features, and details of historic garages and accessory buildings according to the pertinent guidelines.
Response: N/A .4 If replacement of a deteriorated element or detail of a historic garage or accessory building is necessary, replace only the deteriorated portion in kind rather than the entire feature. Match the original element or detail in design, dimension, texture, color, and material. Consider compatible substitute materials only if using the original material is not technically feasible. Response N/A .5 If a historic garage or accessory building is missing or so deteriorated that it is structurally unsound, replace it with a design based on accurate documentation or a new design compatible in form, scale, size, materials, and finish with the principal structure and other historic garages and accessory buildings in the district. Maintain the traditional height and proportion of garages and accessory buildings in the district. If demolition of a structurally unsound building is necessary, follow the guidelines for demolition in Section 5.2. Response: New garage is the same footprint but lower in overall height as the CoA approved two car garage at 706 S Boylan Avenue in Boylan Heights. It is also similar in size and scale to the garage located at 502 Cutler, but smaller in scale and mass than at 1101 W. Lenoir.

Response: Windows shall match the new windows on the house. The garage door is a standard 16 panel door with glass in the second row from the top. .9 It is appropriate to introduce a prefabricated accessory building if it is compatible in size, scale, form, height, proportion, materials, and details with historic accessory structures in the historic district or with a primary landmark building. Response: N/A .10 It is not appropriate to introduce an accessory building similar in appearance, materials, and scale to historic accessory structures that creates a false historical appearance. Response: The design is a simple structure without detail that would create a false historical appearance. .11 It is not appropriate to introduce a new garage or accessory building if doing so will detract from the overall historic character of the principal building and the site, or require removal of a significant building element or site feature, such as a mature tree. Response: The proposed design is smaller and simpler than the proposed house and is located as far in the rear and away from existing trees as possible. .12 It is not appropriate to introduce features or details to a garage or an accessory building in an attempt to create a false historical appearance.
